What did everyone get for Christmas thread

A wallet
Some money
Some bookstore gift cards (although I think they are my kids', don't remember what was said in the chaos when they were handed to me)
A silver bracelet
A great photography book
Some lovely poems
A nice green pen
Some little gourmet-type food treats
A carved cat sculpture (from big son)
Some tea and a cool elephant mug (from little son)
Good test results that say I'm done being sick (from Fate/Nature/God/Whoever- this is the best gift.)

Kids are engrossed in playing one of the many Wii games they were given (no duplicates, fortunately, those things are a btich to return under any circumstances). I'm drinking champagne and lounging. It's very quiet and peaceful.

Happy Birthday, baby Jeebus! And baby Peyton, my nephew. He just turned one.
 
Update...I just got even more cash and beer! and a Pogues shirt from the gig that I wanted to go to but couldn't.

Love PTxx.

Have a Merry Mozzy Christmas everyone! :D
 
yeah, i got some stuff this year, more than last year, money too of course, which is always nice
but i was able to spend a few hundred myself on gifts this year, that matters infinitely more to me than whatever i get :)
especially since that was not the case in 06or07...
 
I got a beautiful scarf and glove set and some other odds and ends (stocking stuffer stuff). I bought an egg poacher for my husband which is something I wanted anyway. :)

I also got a little bit of cash...which will only go back to the recipients to pay off what they loaned me for my freakin house rehab. :rolleyes: I'm happy to have my house back as a "home"...I don't need anything else. well....'cept a lot more cash :cool:

I've gotten more joy out of watching my kids open their gifts. My 8 year old still believes in Santa and that's enough for me. :) oh, we just played a wicked game of Operation Spongebob :D
 
haha oh man. so i got socks from my aunt and uncle, OF COURSE. but theyre fancy socks. like, cute booties, like for babies cept....for big feet. and these HIDEOUS oversized pjs. theyre way too big and theyre red with little scottie dogs on them, hahaha. thank god for gift receipts. :cool::D

HAHA. That's funny. I got almost the exact same set of pj's...only minez gotz rabbits. :cool::p

LOLZ, Corrissey...glad you had a nice Christmas :)
 
thanks esheh, but I don't think you can "technically" be my Sugar Daddy if you're younger than me. However, I'll make an exception if you have a lot of cash for me. :cool: Oh, and please keep the bunny pj's on. :horny: :D

p.s. I love you for "Torking" up this thread. :) :guitar:

Lol- hideous oversized pajamas with scottie dogs on them? My grandmother got exactly the same thing from her sister...weird...I'm assuming you're not my grandma...? :p
 
but you do feel you deserve something on your birthday?


Yes, of course!
I just don't understand where this whole gift-giving at Christmas thing is coming from because it's not very common in Holland.
Is it sheer commercialism or does it have another origin?
There is a similar holiday here on December 5th, but that's mainly meant for children.

(my smilies aren't working!)

We do deserve special treatment on our birthdays!! but gift-giving now?, it's what we do at Christmas. My holiday couldn't be more basic and I'm totally happy with that. If I had money to burn, I might put a Porsche in the driveway with a big red bow on it for my dh ;)...but it's almost just another day other than some pressies...its true meaning -outside of & yes, including religion- family & friends is what it's all about. We went to a church service last night and the Pastor handed out glow sticks (white and blue) rather than candles to the children and it was almost like a church "rave" :p:D I wanted one!

I'm one of those sick freaks who feels it's better to give than receive. :) I've always been this way, one of my greatest pleasures is to make someone else happy. Do not take this the wrong way. :cool: :rolleyes: :p I've done a lot of volunteer work in my time. :) I donated to three charities this year. If you think about it, they are hurting twice as bad w/the economy.

Anyhoo... I also got bath stuff. That is what I am about to do now. *DO NOT DISTURB* ahhhh
 
Lets see...

-TQID original vinyl pressing
-Three more records - Buzzcocks ("A Different Kind of Tension"), New Order (Low/Life), and The Best of Elvis Costello and the Attractions
